>FOMO boxes>shitty, outdated rules>constant competitive churn, WYSIWYG culture>40k starves better games of new players in the wargaming hobby by being the default>they deleted the entire original space marine range to have you rebuy them all in primaris>godawful nu lore in primaris, primarchs returning etc>GW turned nu 40k into capeshit, where nobody ever dies, there are no stakes, where nothing ever changes, where only the super duper special snowflakes mean anything>they purged all fan animations/projects off youtube >they even shafted the designatied grognard containment zone with HH 3.0>the constant softening of the edges, removing the grimdark both in nu lore and especially in the artModern GW has 0 respect for your time or money. Modern games workshop is irredeemable. Therefore, we need female space marines to have it crash and burn, making way for better wagrames and better settings.
>>98169622You own zero minis
>>98169622Post models.
>>98169799>>98169623For you non believers
>>98169622Didn't they already add female Space Marines and everyone lost their shit?
>>98169622But it wouldn't crash and burn. GW don't hold back from putting in female Marines because there's huge opposition to it out there, there isn't, anymore than there's huge numbers in favour. The reality is that the reason GW does all those other things is they know they can get away with it because they've long ago replaced the audience who gave a fuck with a mix of uncritical consoomers, gameplay-only tournament retards, and instagram poofters. The first only care they have new stuff to buy, the second will buy anything if it's got good stats, and the third will paint anything that drives algorithmic engagement - none of them give a fuck about the setting. The fact is simply that there's still one or more people at high level in GW who don't like female Marines, so they don't happen. As soon as they retire and people like Aaron-Dembski Beaniecuck ascend higher in the ranks, they will happen, and there's nothing we can do about it because actual wargamers who like 40K haven't been GW's primary customer base since Gathering Storm.
>>98169622sure but i want this to happen so my genestealer cult can rape and impregnate them
>>98169836thin your paints
The problem with femmarines is you basically have to redesign the armour to make it appear more feminine so you can actually differentiate the male and female figures. Otherwise it's just like the Custodes were it feels meaningless because all the armour looks alike without bare heads.
Hell yeah, xister. We need fem marines because all the important characters in 40k are men, and we need more representation >>98170044Grim. One could even say the state of the 40k community is grim and dark.
>>98170074rule 63 is so gaybut giant stacked as fuck women in desperate need of correction makes me diamonds
>>98170096>rule 63>add girls to a male only group>this somehow makes it gay?????
>>98169836Post nails, we know what you are
>>98170105Females make everything gayMales make everything straightThat's why male only orgies are the straightest thing ever, just ask Space Wolves or Word Bearers
>>98169996Yes and No. They push that the Adeptus Custodes can be female and even denying they were retconing it even when people call all the group is known as the SONS of Terra and are all are the first born sons from the high nobles on Terra.
>>98170197Anon, I...
>>98170197>Adeptus CustodesThat was it
>>98169622Not interested
>>98170210>36 bare heads that are all just either bald guy or guy with mohawk>not even twenty actual space marine helmetsGenuinely what the fuck were they thinking with this kit?
>>98170362>Genuinely what the fuck were they thinking with this kit?The goym will buy it anyway
GW would never make female marines coombait so why bother? They couldn't even make the Sisters of Battle coombait and that's basically the only reason they existed for 90% of their fans.
>>98170395yes female warriors are a neckbeard male sexual fantasyhave been since the beginning of time when some faggot got a boner from a steppe woman firing an arrow at him
>>98170457Glad you understand, female warriors are useless unless you can jack off thinking about them. That's why female custodes flopped.
>>98170481yesi dont want to see what are effectively dickless men fucked by nids
>>98169622Hello I hate everything about modern 40k too and could care less if it all burns. I couldn't even enjoy Space Marine 2 because all I saw was an interactive toy commercial for their cringy new models. The first Space Marine was basically just a reskin of a transformers movie tie in game that sucked but it was still good, it was pure and untainted fun nonsense.>>98169836Very nice, I had to get that sentinel kit just because of how cool it looked even though I didn't even play IG.
>>98169622What are the Sisters of Battle?
>>98170842A deflection, nothing more. Nobody cares about SOB. Almost all the actually important characters that move the story forward in 40k are marines or primarchs.
>>98169622Agreed but unironically. >>98169623>>98169799Ha ha OWNED (>>98169836)
>>98169622>accelerationism but for 40kNever works. Ruining things faster does not ever lead to better outcomes. There is no good that comes out of something like this.
>>98169622Nah.Everybody who cares about any fictional media’s integrity knows that being all male is as entwined with marine identity as black panther and generator Rex being black.If there was any media depicting them otherwise it would be stupid and deserve to be laughed at.>wanting female marines to make 40k crash and burnThis won’t happen if female marines happen. GW is too big to suddenly drop like a rock and get bought out or shutter their doors if they do that.The get woke go broke meme worked for a time so well so investors realized they had to compensate for loss of customers.>>98169836Pretty nice that you added models if this isn’t AI. But there are Janny wannabes and discord groups looking to doxx le rent free chuds here so be careful about modelposting here.>>98169996Custodes were the sacrificial lamb to appease “that crowd” that just goes ip to ip to demand it mutate and then lose what made it special and then move to the next one.
>>98169622have you tried Sisters of Battle?they proxy just fine
>>98169622Insider here.We do have a strategy on the table that isn't really documented yet. Discussions are being held. It's not really about the cost of tooling or what you think might have flopped. A flop for us is still revenue, we always break even. But higher ups want results. We had to explain to board meetings why someone doesn't take a unit of 10 of the same character more than once lolIt's not even about grognards or the lore. It's just an option we are talking about that we haven't picked up yet. Surprisingly little noise or culture war stuff gets to this level in the company, basically the people above me are very corporate and think in terms of numbers and the people below me are polyamorous Trotskyites with dyed sidecuts. Another reason we are very selective about showcasing artists, believe it or not. Corporate wants parent friendly woke neutral, the creatives want full 1917 revolutionary woke.It probably won't happen because the Imperium is actually an amazing metaphor for the company itself. It's a big ship
>>98171510I actually believe you.>and the people below me are polyamorous Trotskyites with dyed sidecutsGrim, but about what I expected. Hopefully there's a way to change this in coming years.>It probably won't happen because the Imperium is actually an amazing metaphor for the company itself.Hilarious and encouraging.
>>98171510Make sure female space marines are sexy to draw maximum fire from both sides of the chud/tranny spectrum.
>>98172110You must have missed all the mockeries of man faces in gw’s female head sculpts.Chuds want attractive female faces.
They should add female space marines but give them perky boob armor and wide hips and make them exclusively wear phobos pattern armor, then people would buy it
>>98172329With or without the stupid skull masks?
>>98169622>>98169836Female space marines should not happen because it is just a big corporation like GW trying to exploit women for sales and big companies are never genuine.Anyways this thread is one of those threads that will attract /pol/fags that will come here and pretend to be /leftypol/fags.Why? I don’t know you’d think it would be at more active boards.If this thread takes off big time i will be proven correct most likely.
>>98172451>that will come here and pretend to be /leftypol/fagsNo one does this, /leftypol/ troons are genuinely mentally ill enough to be caricatures of themselves with no false flagging required.
>>98169622>softening of the edgesIt was and is a dumb scifi beer and chips game by cheeky brits who poked fun at thatcher. If anything the ones humping the grimdark lore like it's a bible when the OG was so fucking goofy are the aberration preventing this game from being fucking FUN.
>>98171141>"A deflection", he says, while deflecting.
>>98172487Since 2nd edition, 40k used to edgy and mostly serious.
>>98172487I get what you mean but the edginess and grimdark is part of what british punks and metalheads would've viewed as FUN in the first place
>>98171510OP here.Even if adding fem marines doesn't crash GW, it would certainly make a decent amount of people leave 40k, which could make other, better systems get an influx of new players. So it's still a win in my book.
>>98174758Don't worry, another faction is definitely getting female models first. Like I said...we have a very vague outline at this point and it's so we can get cracking when the higher ups drop "we need female space marines yesterday because reasons," not because of pressure from the creatives.You're going to piss and shit when you see who is next, though lol. It is a headscratcher but we are literally too big to fail.
>>98169836>no basing on that sentinel
>>98170210Aw hell naw they got Debra Wilson to model for fucking space marines too?
>>98170362We got some faggots that paint unhelmed guys with different skin tones & hair colors in a single squad of marines & guardsmen. There is a crowd for this social retardation.
>>98172461So like all /pol/troons then(my slander is better because it's an actual word that also mocks those given the monicker - up your game, chud).
>>98169622If sisters of silence had better hair women would play them
>>98177297>add a female faction>they are a consistently overshadowed part of their army>they are weak, barely above a guardsman in stats>they never speak and don't have any charactersThat's not very progressive, mr. GW
>>98177297>be Emperor>form a special bodyguard of anti-magic-field people (there are both men and women born with this special ability)>only allow hot women to join but forbid them from speaking a single word everHow could He possibly have been this based?
>>98174951From the top of my head the following factions already have female models>eldar (in all its forms)>tau>sob>guard>vottan>necrons (that kill team lady)>custodes (and sisters of silence)>genestealers>mechanicum>imperial agents/assasins/etcAnd I think you could also count>knights and titans (cuz who knows who’s inside the big robot)>demons (them they/thems of slaneesh)That leaves loyal and chaos space marines, and orks. And, technically, orcs had female orcs way back when in blood bowl. So… you tell me…
>>98177644Oh, shit. I forgot about tyranids. That would be so funny
>>98177660Ironic considering that's the army most women in the hobby actually play.
>>98177644>That leaves loyal and chaos space marinesBoth have female models now with the ultramar command squad and red corsairs command squad.All you've got are orks, nids, and necrons (female crons are mentioned in lore but no models as of yet afaik)
>>98169622based accelerationist anon
>>98172451>Anyways this thread is one of those threads that will attract /pol/fags that will come here and pretend to be /leftypol/fags.They just call anyone a /leftypol/fag these days so that wouldn't be necessary
>>98178984Sorry anon, but merely adding female human or alien characters to a Space Marine's retinue who're ACKSHULEE the ones responsible for all that Marine's successes and the real reason behind their fearsome reputations isn't enough. The Marines must be the girlbosses themselves or it doesn't count.
>>98181475I'm just saying they have female models. Both SMs and CSMs actually got female models before cuckstodes lel
